Even Now
How can you console a friend who is in deep pain, when you yourself are dying with the same sorrow?
A close friend lost her mom recently this year and I know she’s in pain right now being an only child. I make her cry most of the time when we do our daily chats not because I wanted her to, but I know she is still in the process of healing. Most of the times, I cry with her, knowing that what she is going thru is the same with what I had to battle after losing my mom to cancer a couple of years back.
I thought I had already accepted the fact that she’s gone, never to come back to us. But there are these times when I find myself alone, crying, longing for her to hold me in her arms again. Share to her my dreams, fears, anxieties and achievements in life. I know these can never be, and I have to move on with my life. But I know that no matter how many years or decades may pass my life without her, she will always be with me, here in my heart, forever close.
